Wow....what did they say to change about your diet?

She said that I;m not eating enough Protein or eating enough calories.

She said to aim for 30 grams/protein a meal, yes 3 times a day, and to supplement with a Pshake twice a day as well. It's quite overwhelming! So far, I've found that the Jenny-O turkey burgers for lunch & dinner are my best bet, since they're right at 30 grams of Protein. They take about 45 minutes to finish, but I can finish one now. Breakfast is the hardest!

I had gastric on 1-12..one month ago. I've had no troubles, no nausea, and I can eat anything...and I mean anything including sugar. salad and meats are not a problem either as long as I chew well. My concern is that I don't feel the restriction they said I would feel when I started eating solid foods. I have to really be on my game or this isn't going to work for me.

At my two week checkup, the surgeon said I could eat anything. I took him literally and I haven't lost a pound since. Monday I started meal planning and weighing my foods so I can start losing weight again. I have to remind myself that the surgery was a tool and not a fix.

How is it going now? Have you been able to start your loss again? I'm on week 2 without any loss, and had surgery 1/11.

Hi! I had my surgery on 1/27 and have been doing great! I've lost 15 lbs so far and am very happy with that as I was probably on the lighter side to begin with. I have also been diabetes free. I'm still on puree but go to soft foods this weekend. Any suggestions on foods that are high in Protein? I don't think I have been getting in all the protein I am supposed to.

Hi All, I had surgery on 13/01 lost 7kg in my first week, then hit a stall for two weeks! (THE HORROR!!!) I avoided the scales for 3 weeks back on the losing wagon but a lot slower! It might be the January curse and blessing in disguise - I have little to no restriction so decided to start putting extra time in working out. My transition to food has had no limits but my food choices have changed drastically: I have salad with everything! Good carbs: brown rice, couscous, quinoa; Protein - of course.

I did feel I was the only one but glad to know I'm not. But better food choices = results. Started weighing myself again so will see if there is continuation in progress!

I had surgery 1/19. I've had 2 subsequent surgeries for complications, but seem to be holding my own now. It's good to read how everyone deals with different problems, I can use all the ideas I can get!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
